Mind, that joke would work a lot better if it wasn't Forest, of all clubs.

They don't want anybody else.

Reminds me of

I understand only railway station.

We can definitely get "Schär and Enjoy" out of this with a bit of effort

Bring back the 90s, I say

Willi Carlisle's Critterland is a cracker

That's £5 to get there and £60 to leave again.

Or if he's on an interest-only deal for some reason

Two bags of tomato sauce Tudor instead of one.

Are you sure you haven't missed out a decimal point there?

Are you sure you haven't missed out a decimal point there?

Aye. That's exactly what's happening to me (although in "our" case, the software isn't actually good enough for what they want it to do yet but they don't seem to realise that, which is another reason they're losing business and opting to cut jobs in response - it's a vicious circle of AI venture capital techbro fuckwittery). I think this is good policy for any desk-based job really, especially one that involves writing/creation in any form. I do work hard sometimes (honest ) but even then, I'll be punctuating it with micro-breaks of a minute or two to refresh this place, have a pop at LTA or CT, then get straight back to work again. It all helps with focus.

Clattenburg on this is exactly how I imagine Adam Pearson being when he grows up

It clashes with Luxembourg's first Eurovision national final in 30 years, so my loyalties are seriously divided

Cheers fellas. It's been an increasingly miserable place to work since the takeover so I'm hoping I might end up looking back on this as a positive thing once it all shakes out. A masters in something useful definitely feels like the logical next step, I'm still young enough for it even if I don't feel like it most mornings. I'll also have a look around and see if there's any local opportunities that I wouldn't need to retrain for though, be daft not to. And aye, ours is certainly not the only field that's going to be disrupted at best and decimated at worst by AI and the like. It's definitely worrying.

I got made redundant half an hour ago, so my answer to this question might be in the process of shifting. No great surprise tbh, they've decided to just nix the entire UK team rather than doing things by half measures. I think the company is in trouble and, to a wider extent, the industry is too, so getting out of dodge with a decent chunk of redundancy while there's still any money to be had might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I might go back to university, I've always liked lentils...

If this was American reality TV editing then definitely, over here I'm not so sure. Then again, will they really let someone win who can't say "faithful" properly?

I may be changing my mind on this conscription lark

And North Korea is a Democratic People's Republic

No, really, was Redknapp dodgy?

Now you're talking.
